Unbalanced Advantage

I recently found myself looking through a couple year old local publication called the Dried Salmon County Resource Guide for Human Services.In this publication I found that there are 58 churches in Dried SalmonCounty.There are 22 churches in Astoria.So I went to the phone book and I looked something up in the yellow pages.There are only 12 taverns in the county and only 6 taverns in Astoria.Something isn’t right with these numbers. A possible compromise is in the photo above.

Of course its all in how you look at it, but in clatsop county the glass is ALWAYS half full! You are too damn funny. Include in your search the word Lounge, club and lodge. Here is what I found for drinking establishments in Astoria alone:

Sort of in the way of the barroom saturday night crawl. And these are just the establishments whose job is to give you at least one beer. This doesn't count those establishments (like all of the mexican restuarants and other new eateries) who serve beers, wine and liquors with the meals. I think, right in Astoria alone, not to count all of the bars, lounges and taverns that Seaside, Cannon Beach, Warrenton/Hammond, Knappa, Elsie/Jewell, Hamlett, and Gearhart along with their lodges, golf clubs and country clubs we are far from being outnumbered by the puritans. clatsop county's cups more than runneth over!

Ahh, there is hope. Thanks for restorring my faith and order to the universe. How ever when you look deeper into the churches you will find that there are lots of little bible study groups, clubs and camps...OK now I'm throwing the balance off again. I'll just stick with what you presented : ) Thanks for taking the time to research this.
